MG MGA - Starter motor

Why was the MGA starter motor location moved from the low position to the so called high position?
My 1500 had a high mounted starter done by a PO many years past so I was wondering about what was the benifit of changing. Mark

Mark, Are you sure that a PO did this? There were some 1500's (late) with the high mount starter. I think it went along with the introduction of the GD engine. Too lazy to get out "The Book".

I suspect it was done to get the starter a little further away from the road debris.

I found it with a 1800 3 main block and a smog head. The floor boards were modified with a stone axe. Mark
